Preliminary Description: 

Alternation of coarse dense sediment and coarse less dense with irregular contacts. The sediment is grain supported between 34 and 43 cm, 70 and 92 cm. Between 92 and 101 cm there is the least dense level of the whole core, followed by coarser dense sediment with a lot of clasts and some levels with only millimetric clasts.
